Treyvon Paulk dismissed from football program following accused assault Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

Tennessee Volunteers running back Treyvon Paulk was dismissed from the university after being accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Saturday

night.

According to a Knox County Sheriff Office report, the two began arguing and Paulk became “very agitated and struck her in the mouth

with his fist” while the two were attending a party at Quarry Trail Apartments.

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones announced during his weekly press conference Monday that the freshman had been dismissed from the football program due to a “personal conduct issue.”

“We hold our players to have very high standard and expectation with being a member of our football family,” Jones added.

The 18-year-old woman met with a Knox County Sherrif Office Family Crisis detective Sunday afternoon, but the victim has refused to prosecute or take out an order of pro-

tection. With the victim refusing to prosecute, Paulk will not be charged.

The report states that the victim had cuts to her lips, but refused medical treatment once authorities responded to the call of a domestic situation.

Organization uses breasts as canvas to raise money for cancer patients Hannah Zechman

“

I t takes a lot to come in here and take your

Paint, wine and baring it all to save the ta-tas.

Every year, “Paint the Ta-tas” brings women together to use their bodies as a canvas. Sunday night, landscapes and various designs decorated not backs or faces, but breasts.

BreastStrokes is a local non-profit organization that works to raise money for current or former female cancer patients. Women of all ages take off their shirts to aid the cause, even if it takes a glass of wine and a massage to get motivated. At this event, there are no men and no insecurities.

Held at the Iron Wood Studios, the paintings are done strictly neck to navel, making the canvases completely anonymous.

“The goal is to raise money for women who have had cancer to take a trip to Jamaica or pay their medical bills or feed their kids,” said Adrienne Webster, BreastStrokes’ treasurer. “Not all of our recipients survive, so if they want to go to Germany,

then go to Germany.”

No stipulations and no questions are asked when awarding money to the women. BreastStrokes wants to emphasize that it is more than paying the medical bills, help is needed for everyday things including groceries.

“The other half of what we do is empower women,” Webster said. “It takes a lot to come in here and take your shirt off and get painted.”

Julie Thurman, a breast cancer survivor and the first-ever recipient of the BreastStrokes donation, returns each year to support the cause that supported her through a double mastectomy.

“I was diagnosed with stage two aggressive breast cancer when I was 33 years old,” said Thurman. “I

entered an 18 to 40 year old support group, and I was one of the oldest people in the group. It’s terrifying.”

As a victim of cancer, Thurman wants to emphasis the importance of being aware and getting your lumps and bumps checked, no matter how young you are.

“The thing about this particular group of people is that we can actually get to those people that we need to target, which are young adults,” Thurman said.

It was these young ladies who flooded inside the warehouse, willing to wait however long it might take to get their ta-tas taken care of.

Spring brings wildflowers and nearly perfect weather to Lebanon, elegantly framed by • Eva Turk distant, snowy peaks. But during Eva Aouad Turk’s childhood, spring also brought perennial turmoil, rooted in complex, ongoing civil war.

Violence had a season in Lebanon, ushering in a predictable wave of casualties, car bombings and public unrest.

The fighting, however, was only a backdrop to Turk’s early life.

To avoid danger, Turk’s parents swept their five children away to the coast, taking refuge by the Mediterranean Sea. “For me, it was like the war didn’t exist,” says Turk. “Others however, were not so lucky.”

There, Turk and her siblings fell in love with the water, swimming and snorkeling every day.

Now a mother of two, Turk, 41, still harbors that enthusiasm for sport.

In fact, she’s built her life around it.

UT Symphony Orchestra kicks off season with Spanish-inspired concert Katrina Roberts Design Editor (@KatrinaRoberts_)

In a dark and silent auditorium, a lone oboe rang out.

The rest of UT’s 70-piece symphony orchestra soon followed suit, tuning their instruments for the first performance of the semester Sunday night.

Once the noise died down and the instruments were prepped, James Fellenbaum, associate professor of conducting and director of orchestras, took the podium at Cox Auditorium and launched directly into the first piece, “Espana” by Emmanuel Chabrier. Seven minutes later, the audience was hooked – not only on the piece’s Spanish flare, but

also the promise of more to come.

Coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month, the show was titled after this first piece and featured songs inspired by Spanish culture and music, though none were written by Spanish composers.

Grace Belt, sophomore double majoring in business and music, attends symphony performances regularly and appreciated the selection.

“It’s interesting because there’s a stereotypical Spanish sound that for whatever reason, composers love,” Belt said.

“Spanish influence is definitely exciting, and I love themed shows like this.”

And the Spanish flavor was never diluted.

For the second piece, Associate Professor of Violin Miroslav Hristov

joined the stage as the violin soloist for Edouard Lalo’s “Symphonie Espagnole, Op. 21.” Through five movements and 30 minutes, Hristov recreated all the melodies, movements and gusto of a Spanish dancer in the square.

After a brief intermission from the driving energy of the first half, the symphony returned with “Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a renowned Russian composer. It was in these movements that Belt found her favorite piece.

“All of the flavor of this entire program was there in that movement,” Belt said.

“It was exciting and it really did feel like authentic Spanish movement.”

CAMPUS NEWS Fox News regular to discuss conservative values, gender Tanner Hancock Copy Editor

Kate Obenshain, conservative political commentator and frequent guest on Fox News, will speak on the status of women, free speech and faith in America on Tuesday.

Her lecture will address the limitations of free speech for conservative groups by the liberal administration. By using examples like the recent Internal Revenue Service controversy, which revealed that the IRS had targeted conservative groups with intensive scrutiny who were applying for tax-exempt status, Obenshain will attempt to reveal how conservative viewpoints are routinely stifled by liberal agendas and media.

“I hope (the audience) sees some of the background that they don’t hear a lot,” said Laura Hirt, sophomore in economics. “I think Kate will just help students understand what they’re hearing from the media and give sort of both sides to a lot of arguments we hear one side of.”

Obenshain will present an argument for limited government and her belief that gender inequality issues in America are largely fictitious, created by ambiguity in data and biased media reports.

Hirt, a self-identified young conservative and executive board member of the University of Tennessee’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter, said she fully supports Obenshain’s claims.

“A lot of the debate over the wages of women, the statistics behind that are not very clear at all,” Hirt said. “Often it’s because women have taken time off to take care their families. It’s because of the jobs women have chosen not because there’s some underlying inequality between women and men.”

Diana Howell, sophomore in political science and executive board member for YAF, hopes students of all political parties will attend the event, stating that a diverse audience is crucial for mutual under-

standing of values and a greater dialogue on the issues.

“If you are liberal, I think it’s so • Kate Obenshain important that we just create an understanding to see where the conservative beliefs are,” Howell said.

Howell also sees the lecture as an opportunity to educate students who may have misinformation on the current political situation in America.

“People are just not informed about the facts,” Howell said. “I think this is just another step we can take to start informing people.”

Although the Young Americans for Freedom invited Obenshain to campus, Hirt said YAF has a strict, non-partisan stance.

“We don’t endorse candidates or political parties,” Hirt said. “We are not into politics as much as values.”

Michael Hensley, sophomore in political science and founding chairman of UT’s chapter of YAF, said he thinks the lecture will allow students to examine fundamental conservatism.

“Many students don’t have a really good understanding of conservatism,” Hensley said. “It often gets a negative reputation. We’re excited that she’s coming to just kind of set the record straight and explain why conservatism is not just applicable for the older generation.”

Ultimately, Hensley hopes students will take away a sense of pride from Obenshain’s lecture and be motivated to get involved with the conservative movement on campus.

Obenshain’s lecture is part of the Young America’s Foundation “Firing Up Freedom Tour.” Attendees have the opportunity to speak with Obenshain oneon-one at 7 p.m. before the lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Patrick Auditorium of the Communications Building.

OUTreach events talk sexuality, gender identity Joshua Burton Contributor

Every week, the University of Tennessee’s OUTreach Center provides different events for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning and allied community members on campus. Largely organized by OUTreach Center Director Donna Braquet, the programs range from social to educational and offer the student body an opportunity to be exposed to varying perspectives on sexuality and gender identity.

“SexEd Queered” (Monday, 6 - 7 p.m.)

A collaboration with the student group Sexual Health Advisory Board, “SexEd Queered” is an initiative that aims to provide a sex education experience that is inclusive of all sexual identities.

“It uses language that isn’t gendered about bodies,” said Robin Lovett, OUTreach student assistant and senior in Hispanic studies. “It also

includes information about sexuality that is much greater than ‘how you have sex, how you have safe sex.’ It’s also about healthy relationships and your mental health and the health of your own body.”

“Trans Talk Tuesdays” (Tuesday, 7 - 8 p.m.)

A peer-led discussion group, “Trans Talk Tuesdays” is open to all transgender or gender nonconforming students willing to participate and discuss their perceptions of their gender identity.

Describing the event, Braquet expressed pride in fostering a community where students could come together and be themselves.

“It’s the first time that some students have even mentioned out loud to anyone that they feel their identity is transgender,” Braquet said. “This might be the only time in their lives where they’ve been sort of embraced and affirmed as who they are.”

“Rainbow Coffeehouse” (Wednesday, 4 - 6 p.m.)

In a more social setting, “Rainbow Coffeehouse” provides the opportunity for students to meet and converse in a welcoming environment. Over free coffee and snacks, attendees are invited to get to know members of the LGBTQA community on campus and its allies.

“Throwback Thursday” (Thursday, 6:30 - 8 p.m.)

Structured by student suggestions, the activities of “Throwback Thursdays” consist of varying games and activities, including croquet, knitting and watching LGBTQA themed movies.

“OUT 2 Lunch” (Fridays, 12:12 - 1:12 p.m.)

Before the weekend begins, students are welcomed to bring their lunch to the OUTreach center and discuss a myriad of issues in the LGBTQA community.

“We have an entire list of topics we discuss, all the way from coming out, to studying abroad, to inclusive health programs to asexuality,” Braquet explained.

In the future, the

OUTreach Center hopes to expand its tagline “You Belong Here” to become even more inclusive of the campus community. With the hope of establishing a discussion group centered around Queer People of Color, Braquet maintains the importance of viewing individuals in a complex light.

“It’s really important that we realize that someone isn’t just gay or someone isn’t just African-American,” Braquet said.

Lovett maintains that the OUTreach Center is a place where anyone can come and feel accepted.

“The center is open to everyone ... as long as they are supportive,” Lovett said.

“We’re happy to have anyone come in and just hang around, even if we don’t have an event currently going on.”

In addition to its regular programs, the OUTreach Center invites students to participate in “Bisexual Visibility Week” that started Monday. More information can be found on OUTreach’s facebook page.

Physics students educate public, make science ‘fun’ Joshua Burton Contributor The table was crowded with children in awe of what they were seeing.

Faces lit up as heads of lettuce exploded, sparks flew and light burst into a spectrum of colors.

Adults joined the crowd, trying to decipher the concepts behind the demonstration.

Using liquid nitrogen, a lightning generator, diffraction glasses and reality-mirrors, the University of Tennessee’s Society of Physics Students demonstrated different principles of physics on Market Square Sept. 19.

The Society of Physics Students was established in 1968 to unite members of the honor

organization Sigma Pi Sigma with other students interested in physics. With a larger agenda of educational outreach, the society hosts monthly demonstrations in Market Square to explain some of the basic principles of physics in a simple and interactive fashion.

Louis Varriano, president of UT’s Society of Physics Students and sophomore in physics, said he believes the club holds wide appeal.

“Students who join SPS can gain a first hand glimpse at what physics means and can also find more ways to get involved with research, public education and the other activities we do,” Varriano said.

By promoting the idea that physics is fun and practical,

students in the society aim to encourage study of the scientific field on a broader scale.

According to the American Association for Advancing Science, $15 billion is dedicated to physics research in the U.S. each year for all physics-related fields. However, physics research encompasses many scientific sub-fields, including nuclear, particle, optics, computing and more.

“Students and the rest of the population don’t have to understand exactly what it is that physicists do, so long as they are aware that a lack of support for physics research would be disastrous for the future,” Varriano said.

Behind the design Clarence Brown costume designer tells story of humanity through clothing Liv McConnell

Projects Editor When going to the movie theater on a Friday night, you probably don’t want Bill Black to accompany you.

“My friends hate seeing movies with me,” Black, associate department head of costume design at UT, said. “A zipper on a dress from a time before zippers existed will catch my eye and I’ll start thinking, ‘Well, why did they make that choice?’ And I’ll stop focusing on (the movie).”

For Black, who first came to UT “moments out of graduate school” as the head of Clarence Brown Theatre’s Costume Shop in 1977, the importance of congruent costuming is everything. It’s what he has built his career around.

“I believe that a really excellent design is one that nobody notices,” he said. “It’s so right that you don’t even think about what the person is wearing because it’s just natural.”

This principle — that costumes designed for theatrical productions should themselves be inconspicuous — is an interesting contradiction, and one that matches Black’s own personality.

“I’ve always been a kind of person who didn’t want to be focal,” he said. “I wanted to blend in. One thing that draws people to the theatre is the ability to hide from themselves and be someone else; it’s an opportunity to hide behind a character.”

TURK continued from Page 1 While studying political science and public administration in college (a decision inspired by her country’s struggles), Turk began working as a reporter and editor for sports.com. Upon graduating, she and her husband co-founded Sport Evasion, an event-planning company that merges work with play by creating competitions and teambuilding experiences for schools and corporations.

“We believe that healthy employees are more productive

PHYSICS CLUB continued from Page 2 The Society of Physics Students hopes to encourage passion for the science by demonstrating that physics is not only important for technological advances and increased understanding of the world, but also for its recreational possibilities.

“Even though kids probably won’t remember the explanations for experiments, hopefully

When teaching his Introduction to Costume Design class (Theatre 242), the character played by the self-proclaimed “shy-ish” Black is decidedly outspoken.

Often seen sporting a colorful name tag spelling out “Bill” in ribbon-like letters, he infuses his class with games and real-world experience at Clarence Brown.

“His kids work with us here in the costume shop and then also on crews with us for shows,” Melissa Caldwell-Weddig, costume shop manager and Black’s colleague for six years, said. “They learn skills in class that they take and use here, working with professionals.”

Caldwell-Weddig said Black’s true “volunteer spirit” continues to make him a valuable asset to Clarence Brown’s costume department.

“He is really helpful at every level,” she said. “He does amazing work for his own shows and then is always happy to help with whatever other shows are going on, as well.”

In total, Black has designed the costumes for more than 300 productions in his 38-year-run at Clarence Brown.

“I feel like I’ve been in college for the last 45 years,” he said. “This is the only real job I’ve ever had.”

During his time at UT, he’s seen campus and student life transform. While he joked that the students “keep getting younger and younger and younger,” the university has seemingly morphed before his eyes.

“All this used to be old homes,” he

employees,” Turk says. “Physical activity is not only good for the body, but for the mind and soul.”

Sport Evasion has planned an employee soccer league, a youth street basketball tournament, and a freestyle ski and snowboarding acrobatic show, to name only a few of Turk’s projects. Yet, at these events Turk couldn’t help but notice the poor female turnout – a discrepancy paralleled elsewhere in Lebanese society. In 2008, Turk got down to business, taking a hiatus from Sport Evasion to pursue another passion: advocacy on behalf of female entrepreneurs. they will remember how much fun they had doing science and will either choose to be scientists later in life or at least continue to be interested,” Varriano said.

Majoring in physics is not a requirement for joining the society, and not all members are aspiring physicists.

For Kevin Ye, freshman in computer science and society member, who said he’s “not even a physics guy,” the society provides a unique outlook on the reputably difficult science, breaking it down into simple, fun dem-

gestured toward the area surrounding the office of Development and Alumni Affairs.

“Hodges used to be only for undergraduates and was unfinished. On the thentop floor, there was a staircase leading to nowhere.”

Today, he believes the university and its students have been filled with a “new energy.”

“We’re not so much the sleepy southern institution that we used to be,” he said.

“Athletics still rule the campus, but we’re more publicly available.”

When not presiding over Clarence Brown, Black brings his expertise to the Utah Shakespeare Festival, a place where he believes the mountains are “a different kind of beautiful than the ones here.”

“I went there thinking it was a one-time gig and have been there every season for the last 23 years,” Black said. “So all May and June, I live in Cedar City, Utah.

It sits right in the center of the Grand Circle, which is a 100 mile-radius circle that encompasses seven national parks. I love it.”

Whether surrounded by the red clay of East Tennessee or the red rock of Utah, Black’s primary objective is, and has always been, utilizing his craft to communicate a greater truth.

“I’m a storyteller,” he said. “I think stories are one of the most important things about being human; we express what it means to be human by the stories we tell.

And I think clothing helps tell that story.”

For two years, she worked as a project manager for the Lebanese League for Women in Business, an organization seeking to help female entrepreneurs thrive through networking and education. During her time with LLWB, Turk oversaw the creation of a conference for businesswomen. Turk benefited from a similar experience herself, through her yearlong business mentorship with the Mowgli Foundation.

“The way things are structured, women have to manage it all – a career, a family, the household,” Turk says. “You have to work late, you have to travel and onstrations.

“It’s a decent amount of work,” Ye said, “but I have fun, and so do the people that attend.”

Varriano makes an effort to show the general public that physics is not merely a scholarly topic, but also something that the general populace can enjoy, even without delving into the science.

“A lot of science is common sense and logic, which people can realize if they see our demonstrations and try to understand them,” Varriano said.

you have to be available to pick up the children from school.”

Turk is right – according to the World Economic Forum’s 2013 Global Gender Gap Report, women comprise 25 percent of the Lebanese labor force, despite greater female enrollment in primary, secondary and tertiary education. Traditional gender roles prevail in Lebanon, pressuring women to remain in the domestic sphere.

“Encouraging women to

become entrepreneurs allows them the flexibility they need to have a family and a business,” Turk says. “You are your own boss. You can work from home without having to explain that to your manager.”

After returning to Sports Evasion, Turk continued working to spark positive change.

She hopes to create an event model specifically targeting women, blending sport with business in perfect harmony. If

a woman felt confident competing in a fitness challenge, for example, that experience could embolden and mobilize her in other areas of life – testament to what Turk calls the “unifying effect” of sports.

“Right now, the system in Lebanon is not very conducive to working women,” Turk says.

“Promoting women’s entrepreneurship is not only good for the family, but good for the economy.”

The secret life of zoo poo Gettin’ Scruffy by

R.J. Vogt Tonka, Jana and Edie have a big, smelly secret.

Every morning, the three resident African Elephants at the Knoxville Zoo plod into the Stokely African Elephant Preserve to begin a long day of eating. Vegetarians, they’ll each consume nearly 500 pounds of hay and other plant material over the course of the day. Zoo visitors will ogle their majestic trunks and giggle at their swaying dance moves – a mechanism they use to cope with captivity – and some lucky patrons will even see the elephants deposit their excess waste around the enclosure.

But only one man will see what happens next.

Robert Hodge has been working at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens for a little more than a year. Having earned five years of urban agriculture experience in Knoxville, the quick-talking gardener joined the Botanical Gardens with an elephantine ambition – develop a community garden in a corner of the 47 acres of carefully cultivated green space.

He had accomplished a similar goal at the first community garden he helped organize, a site that he describes as “river bottom land.” The project taught Hodge a new appreciation for rich, nutritious soil, and when he embarked on his second community garden in Lawnsdale, he knew he needed some kind of fertilizer to prepare the dirt.

Hodge went to Beardsley Community Farm, a local non-profit run by AmeriCorps volunteers, to see how they started their gardens in the nitrogen-deficient soil. There, the staff let Hodge in on a scruffy little – big – secret.

“To get the nitrogen of manure, inside the city limit, is a challenge,” he said. “There’s no livestock, so what do you do? You go to the zoo.”

That’s exactly what he did, and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

“We call it zoo poo,” he laughed. “Maybe zoo manure – that’s slightly less juvenile.”

After the visitors have left the zoo, someone has to clean up the elephants’ mess. And it’s not just elephants – bovine (vegetarian) animals such as zebras and camels also leave sizable duties to be carried out. Typically, the zoo uses a third party waste removal contractor to remove the waste and cart it off to a landfill, a process that can cost thousands of dollars and waste valuable resources.

But why throw it away when you can use it?

According to Shawn Hawkins, a professor of biosystems engineering and soil science at the University of Tennessee, bovine manure is “extremely valuable.”

“It has all the plant nutrients that you would expect,” Hawkins said, “because that’s all they eat.”

Generally speaking, Hawkins said manure has three vital nutrients that most plants need to grow – phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. This last nutrient can be hard to come by for plants.

Even though nitrogen is the most prevalent element in the atmosphere, plant life requires a more reduced form, such as ammonia or nitrate, in order to generate new organic matter. That’s where Tonka, Jana and Edie come in – a portion of the nitrogen in the organic matter of their daily diet passes through their guts and ends up in the manure.

A circle of life has no beginning or ending, but in Knoxville, the elephants seem to be the start of a complex chain of events. Hodge said he received 120,000 pounds of zoo poo last fall, and plans to obtain that same amount over the next few weeks. He will leave it to decompose into the soil, and by May, Hodge said many of the nutrients will have been absorbed into the earth, priming it for cultivation.

It’s a win-win for Knoxville; the zoo would normally have to pay for the landfill dump, but the Botanical Garden takes the zoo poo gladly, for free.

“It’s a wonderful compost granola bar,” he said, laughing.

So wonderful, in fact, that the zoo requested this story not published. According to Phil Colclough, the director of animal collections and conservation at the Knoxville Zoo, public knowledge of zoo poo and its powers would generate a storm of requests from private citizens for private use. The Botanical Gardens must sign a waiver acknowledging that they are taking untreated manure to procure it, and Colclough is not willing to extend the favor to individuals.

Is it smelly sustainability? Covert cooperation? Ripe resourcefulness? I’m not sure what to think of this partnership between our city’s zoo and botanical gardens, but I could not hold the secret any longer.

And if you don’t believe me, visit Knoxville Botanical Gardens sometime this fall.

Take a whiff.

The truth about vegetarians School of Sarcasm by

Kaila Curry At least once a week, you’ll hear me say “No thank you, I cannot eat that. I’m a vegetarian.”

Simply put, I do not consume meat. And yet despite the various legitimate reasons to be a vegetarian, I am constantly bombarded with theoretical questions, misjudgments and the occasional eye roll. I do not wish to transform anyone to a life of vegetarianism; however, my wish is that having read this, you can avoid all of these strange and awkward misconceptions.

First, contrary to popular belief, my vegetarianism does not mean I’m a hippie who spends her free time frolicking through the flowers with unshaven armpits.

In fact, I have only hugged a tree once.

I was walking to class absorbed in my text messages, and unaware of the path ahead of me, I smacked right into a tree. I bent my arms around it for the sake of bystanders to see me as a “tree hugger” and not an idiot.

I also do not spend my time “meat shaming” people eating at fast food joints, with

sional sympathetic individual, who will treat your conscious decision as an ailment. He or she will often apologize for eating meat in front of me, and pity my “meat deprivation.”

Then, there are the people who will tell you that he or she was a vegetarian for like a week. Good job, do you want a gold star?

Regardless of what some meat eaters think, there are many benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, vegetarian eating patterns have been associated with improved health outcomes, including lower levels of obesity, a reduced risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure. In addition, vegetarians tend to consume a lower proportion of calories from fat and fewer overall calories and consume more fiber, potassium and vitamin C than non-vegetarians.

And not only that, but several researchers argue that a vegetarian diet can feed more people than a meat-based diet. For example, approximately 20,000 pounds of potatoes can be grown on one acre of land. Comparatively, only around 165 pounds of beef can be produced on 1 acre of land.

So as you sit here reading the newspaper, enjoy your hot dog and I will enjoy my veggie burger; it’s as simple as that.

Rise to the top of your fantasy league Fantasy Football Corner by

Austin Pirkle Okay, so who’s, 3-0? Congrats to all of you raising your hand right now. If you’re, 0-3, I’ll be your shoulder to cry on. You can’t seem to get the right starting combination together, or your team is being littered with injuries.

But hey, we’ve all been there. You don’t think anything will ever go your way, and you might be ready to throw in the towel. But remember: It’s. Not. Over. Keep your head up and continue to improve your team in the best way you can. Always look at the positives of being the first one on the waiver wire, and find those hidden gems. My first fantasy title came after starting, 0-4. 0-4! I stuck to my guns and kept with it to the end of the season, winning 11 of the last 12 games. It can happen. You just have to believe your team can turn it around and make the right moves. That’s why I am here.

Also, to the people who have winning records, don’t take your foot off the gas, because things can change in an instant.

Waiver Wire Pickups Lorenzo Taliaferro (Owned in 0.1 percent of NFL.com leagues) What a name, right? The rookie out of Coastal Carolina had his first opportunity and

ran with it. With Bernard Pierce sidelined, he ran for 91-yards and a touchdown as he split time with Justin Forsett. I think there’s a reasonable chance Lorenzo can take the job from Pierce, because even when Pierce was healthy, Taliaferro has just been more effective. Justin Forsett will still get the passing down snaps, but Lorenzo will likely get the rest of them and hopefully still produce.

Donald Brown (Owned in 9.9 percent of NFL.com leagues) San Diego running backs are going down like flies. Danny Woodhead was the last victim Sunday, with an ankle injury that will end his season. With Ryan Mathews being out another four to five weeks, Donald Brown will get almost all the workload in the backfield for the foreseeable future. A good stop gap if you are struggling with injuries to your top running backs.

Jordan Matthews (Owned in 2.9 percent of NFL.com leagues) A rookie out of Vanderbilt who broke numerous SEC records showed us why Sunday. Matthews had eight catches for 59 yards and two touchdowns. He is a real threat in the passing game on an explosive team that scores a lot of points. This could be the start of a great career as Nick Foles gains trust with the young wide receiver.

Sell High Jeremy Maclin Maclin is having a great start to the year after tearing his ACL last year. Who called that? I’ll give myself a pat on the back for say-

ing that in my preseason article. The reason I have him as a sell high candidate is due to the array of weapons the Eagles have in the arsenal. I firmly believe Maclin will continue to have a very good year but maybe not at the pace he is at right now.

DeSean Jackson The former Eagle had himself a great day Sunday to stick it to his old team for cutting him last off-season. He hauled in five receptions for 117-yards and a touchdown.

Jackson’s big day was partially planned, I would assume. I believe he was in the coach’s ear all week, hoping the game plan was being geared toward getting him the ball; he wanted to show the Eagles what they were missing. Pierre Garçon looks to still be the No. 1 wide receiver in Washington even with Kirk Cousins quarterbacking the team now.

Buy Low Demaryius Thomas Thomas has not lived up to his high expectations so far this year. He seems to have had a case of the drops lately and produced some mediocre games. The fact is, he still is the most talented wide receiver in Denver, and he will turn it around eventually. If his owner is growing tired of the lack of production and the return of Wes Welker, try to lowball an offer to snag a premier wide receiver that will win you games down the stretch.

posters that claim “animals are people too.”

The truth is, I couldn’t care less if you eat meat; in fact, it seems it’s the meat-eaters who have a beef about it (pun intended).

The initial reaction received upon telling someone I am a vegetarian is a series of ridiculous questions and scenarios such as: “What do you even eat?” I eat everything without meat in it.

“What about chicken?” Chicken is meat.

“Where do you get protein from?”

Vegetarians have only slightly lower protein intake than those with a meat diet. Various studies around the world confirm that vegetarian diets provide enough protein if they include a variety of plant sources.

“If you were trapped on a desert island, with nothing but a wild boar, would you … ?”

Yes! If my only means of survival were meat, I would eat it. Are you satisfied?

People assume that eating out as a vegetarian would be the gravest challenge faced. In reality, I have never been to a restaurant where I was unable to find something to eat.

The real challenge is dealing with the people I’m dining with, who insist on listing all of the meatless items on the menu. Thank you, because vegetarians are also illiterate.

Friends and even family members love to wave meat in my face, making crying animal sounds before they devour it. “Please don’t eat me, please don’t.”

Vegetarians are also faced with the occa-

Denim: the timeless trend Melodi Erdogan

Copy Editor (@melodierdogan)

Unlike diamonds, fashion trends aren’t forever.

After designers formulate and debut these trends on runways, they trickle down to large companies that mass-produce similar pieces. Thus, the trends becomes accessible and affordable for the average shopper.

Originally introduced in the 18th century, one trend has long since been a staple in North American wardrobes: denim. “You can just rely on your denim, to grab it out of your closet and know that it looks good,� said Cheyenne Perry, sales associate at Urban Outfitters in Market Square and the brand’s university representative for UT. For many students, denim is both reliable and versatile.

Constructed in a variety of shapes and designs, it’s easily adaptable to a plethora of personal styles.

Freshman in chemical engineering Claire Koellhoffer cites her style as a “hodgepodge� of different influences, adding that her favorite denim pieces are vintage finds from her hometown, Cincinnati. “I like different denim pieces, I’m not really into the mainstream skinny jeans,� she said. “Stuff like that isn’t very interesting.�

Koellhoffer reaches for denim when she wants to make a style statement. Her current favorite pair is a patterned, bell-bottom design. “Denim is an easy thing to take to a different place outside of your normal style,� Koellhoffer said. “Instead of just wearing normal blue jeans, maybe wear a different color of jean or a different cut than you’d normally wear.�

Perry agreed, saying jeans and denim clothing pieces are easy to dress up or down, “depending on the wash, style and fit.�

“If you find denim that fits you really well,�

Perry said, “you can rely on it to always fit you really well ‌ â€?

Today, alt-J fans are getting exactly what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for.

Since the success of their 2012 debut album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Awesome Wave,â&#x20AC;? fans have anxiously awaited the release of the British alternative bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sophomore record â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is All Yours.â&#x20AC;? Filled with haunting vocal harmonies and instrumentals, the album lets fans revisit the unique indierock sound of â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Awesome Waveâ&#x20AC;? with a refreshing twist.

Similar to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut record, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is All Yoursâ&#x20AC;? begins with a song entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Introâ&#x20AC;? to set the tone of the album. However, this song starts the album off on a happier note, which is an interesting contrast from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous record. This happy tone is seen throughout the entire album, with a few of their more signature, somber tunes placed intermittently here and there.

In addition to creating a happier tone in â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is All Yours,â&#x20AC;? the band also uses the album to display the flexibility that they possess as musicians. After losing guitarist and founding band member Gwil Sainsbury, the band was forced to rethink their music and try some new ideas. The band uses two of the singles from the album to demonstrate their versatility.

Lead single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunger of the Pine,â&#x20AC;? shows the band entering into new musical Alt-J territory when it includes a sample of Miley Cyrusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;4x4.â&#x20AC;? Cyrus allowed the band to use the sample after Thom Green, the contrasts with the harder, bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drummer, produced a electric instruments on the remix of her song. record. Meanwhile, the songs Perhaps the most popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garden of England-Interludeâ&#x20AC;? song from the record, second and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choice Kingdomâ&#x20AC;? have a single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Left-Hand Freeâ&#x20AC;? has continuous sound of birds and come as a pleasant surprise to wind in the background that alt-J fans. Released as a joke adds to the happier tone and in an attempt to create the soothing nature of the album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;least alt-J song ever,â&#x20AC;? fans Through their second have been drawn to the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album, alt-J continues to heavy rock sound that is remi- display their ambition and niscent of the Black Keys. individuality in the world of The instrumentals and indie-rock.

SYMPHONY continued from Page 1 Desiree Hunter, senior in music education and German language and literature, plays viola in the UT Symphony Orchestra and has played her fair share of concerts. But this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selections are presenting new, exciting types of challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a completely different style than what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to playing,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to playing pretty, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brahms-y,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; beautiful melodies and intense things. This is so themed and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done something like that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot higher energy than stuff that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done recently.â&#x20AC;?

AUTOS FOR SALE

But despite the stylistic differences, the symphony never missed a beat. The final piece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danza Final (Malambo) from Estancia, Op. 8aâ&#x20AC;? by Alberto Ginastera, was by far the shortest, but also the most intense.

As sections of the symphony were standing, feet stomping and leg tapping, this song embodied everything Hunter wanted to show an audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not boring and stuffy,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We play fun music, and we have a good time.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun than just some boring old Bach and Beethoven.â&#x20AC;?

For Belt, the love of the music is enough to draw her in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are my people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is life blood, and this is what I want.â&#x20AC;?

Freshman wide receiver Josh Malone sprints to catch a pass from Justin Worley during practice on Sept. 8. Hayley Pennesi • The Daily Beacon

Malone looking to emerge amidst injury-riddled receiving corp Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor (@dsouth16)

Two straight games. Two straight ankle sprains — both coming to a member of Tennessee’s wide receiver corps.

And with those injuries likely carrying over into Saturday’s matchup at No. 12 Georgia — junior wide receiver Von Pearson has already been ruled out, and sophomore pass catcher Josh Smith is unlikely to play — the Volunteers offense has been desperately searching for some sort of replacement in the play-making department.

PAULK continued from Page 1 A former three-star recruit from Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia, Paulk missed all but four games of his senior year with a knee problem.

Injuries followed Paulk to Knoxville as the freshman hadn’t seen action in any of UT’s first three games this season.

Jones said Sept. 8 Paulk was “going through a redshirt process” and that he was “not 100 percent healthy.” Jones also indicated that Paulk wouldn’t see any action unless the Vols got into a “emergency situation.”

The Paulk situation marks the second legal incident of 2014 where current members of the Tennessee football program have experienced problems at Quarry Trail Apartments. In February, two current and two former players were arrested, while seven other current

Enter Josh Malone.

“His role will continue to expand and very rightfully so,” Tennessee head coach Butch Jones said at Monday’s press luncheon. “He’s worked exceptionally hard. He’s starting to understand the small details of what it takes to play championship football at the receiver position — the work ethic, the practice habits. I thought he had a very good work week last week.”

For Malone, who was rated either a four or five-star wide receiver depending on the recruiting service, his freshman campaign has begun much slower than anticipated.

Through three games, the former Station Camp High School standout has just five catches for 63 yards, but under the watchful tutelage

Vols were cited for alcoholrelated charges.

Nobody, however, was dismissed following that episode.

“Every circumstance is different,” Jones said.

“I am a father figure.

Unfortunately, some incidents are out of my control and some incidents you try to control. We do a tremendous job in the overall growth and development of every individual in our football program, with our Vol For Life program, a personal development and growth program.”

“We spend an inordinate amount of time, as you all are well aware of, with outside speakers, using real life illustrations, we are constantly having dialogue and talking about it.

We always talk about the one second rule, it is split second decisions. You try to educate them and move on just like they are your own kids.”

Assistant Sports Editor Dargan Southard also contributed to this story.

of wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni, Jones feels confident in upping the young Malone’s workload despite entering the hostile environments of the SEC. “(Azzanni) has a knack for developing receivers, and Josh holds on every word that he says,” Jones said. “He’s working exceptionally hard now, and he’s really worked his practice habits.

“You have to be able to take the practice field to the game field, and he’s been able to do that. He’s played consistently every time he’s gone in there.

He’s caught the football. He’s advanced the football. He’s blocked, and he’s done everything that we’ve asked of him.

He’s been a quiet, consistent performer for us.”

Even so, the loss of Pearson

and potential absence of Smith could prove detrimental for the Vols’ air attack.

One member of that duo has started each of the last two weeks, while the tandem alone has accounted for 32 percent of UT’s receiving yards and 33 percent of the Vols’ receiving touchdowns.

That makes the potential emergence of Malone all the more crucial as the Vols look for their first road win over a ranked opponent since 2006 — a 51-33 victory at Sanford Stadium over the then No. 10 Bulldogs.

“Like I always say, people have to get more reps,” sophomore wide receiver Marquez North said, “and then we’ve just all got to step up as a group, play complementary football and gel.

“Everyone’s going to get more reps and more plays — everyone that’s capable because we play a lot of guys.”

Health updates: Monday, Jones provided clarity on a plethora of offensive injuries heading into the Georgia matchup.

Smith’s progress was deemed “ongoing”, while Pearson was officially ruled out for Saturday’s contest.

Both wide receivers suffered high-ankle sprains in consecutive weeks — Pearson’s coming against Arkansas State Sept. 6 and Smith’s occurring at Oklahoma Sept 13.

Promising news, however, was delivered on the tight end front as Jones indicated both freshmen Daniel Helm (ankle sprain) and Ethan Wolf (bruised knee) will be avail-

able against the Bulldogs.

Meanwhile, freshman running back Derrell Scott, who hasn’t played yet this season with what was earlier pegged as a “foot injury”, returned to practice last week, but Jones still wasn’t ready to designate him as “game ready.”

“It’s ongoing,” Jones said.

“It is very good to have him back on the football field, and he brings another element to the backfield. Also competition. Not quite game ready yet, but we will make a determination on his status if he will be on the travel squad or not going on the road.

“When you go on the road in the SEC you have travel restrictions, so a lot of it is special teams value as well.”

Saturday’s homecoming will take backseat for UT’s Georgia natives Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

Peaches, the 1996 Summer Olympics and the city of Atlanta: all prominent concepts that come to mind when thinking of the state of Georgia.

But for 17 members of the Tennessee Volunteer football team, the “Empire State of the South” represents something much more dear.

Home.

And while Saturday’s road contest against the Georgia Bulldogs will be a homecoming for 24 percent for the Vols active roster, UT is focused on more than just catching up with friends and home cooking.

“It’s all about getting the `W’ and we’re going down there with our road focus trying to

come out on top,” said sophomore cornerback Cam Sutton, who hails from Jonesboro, Ga. “Like I said, it’s always good to play in your home state and all, but we’re competitive and we’re not really worried about being friends on the field.

“We can talk, hang out and do all of that after the game, but while we’re on the field we’re competing and trying to get the `W.’” As for Gainesville, Ga., native and senior A.J. Johnson, this matchup against the Bulldogs could prove to be one more achievement in the linebacker’s illustrious collegiate career.

“I know we haven’t beat them since I’ve been here, so that’s the main goal,” Johnson said. “It’s my last time to go down there, last time to play in their stadium and my last time to play Georgia ... I know a lot of the guys on that team. I’ve been at camps with them and stuff like that, but at the end of the day, we’re competing and trying to win.”

Demand for “disruption”: After starting off the season with two solid defensive outings against Utah State and Arkansas State, the Vols defense took a step back in UT’s, 34-10, loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Tennessee allowed 454 yards in Norman, Okla., and failed to generate any consistent pressure on quarterback Trevor Knight, which has been one of the few problems for the Vols this season as they have recorded only five sacks.

“We need to start generating more hits on the quarterback, more of a pass rush and more ball disruptions,” Jones said.

“That’s the thing that I want to see improvement defensively.

It’s like you can’t get to the quarterback, so you mirror the offhand, you get your hand in the throwing lane.

“You get the population to the ball, where we’re running to the football, that’s when good things happen … There are a lot of things that we

Through three games, sophomore cornerback Cameron Sutton has racked up 16 tackles, a pass breakup and an interception.

Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon/Tennessee Athletics need to do to take the next step defensively. Not just tackling, but the small details. You look at the SEC, the margin of winning is very, very small.

Everyone talks about inches; it really is an inches game.”

The added emphasis on rushing the passer, however, could lead to other positives throughout the defense.

The Vols will also be looking to increase their number of turnovers, which they currently have six of through three games.

“That’s our job, and we’ve just got to get the ball back to our offense,” Sutton said.

“That’s any way possible. We’re also trying to put points up on the board as well. That takes a lot of pressure off our offense.

When we’re getting the ball back to them, they’re able to stay in drives and keep the ball moving. The more opportuni-

ties they have the ball in their hands, it’s better for the team.”

Berry’s benefit: Making a difference in the special teams department is an easy way to become a favorite of coach Jones.

Sophomore Jalen ReevesMaybin turned his special teams superstardom in 2013 to a starting linebacker spot this season.

Monday, Jones made sure to give praise to the Vols’ special teams standout from the Oklahoma matchup.

“Well, going into the Oklahoma game, probably the monumental change that really changed the dynamic of our kickoff team was Evan Berry,” Jones said. “Evan Berry was the first one down the field. He was disruptive. So you could really feel his presence and he impacted the game.”
